Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases: structure, function, and biochemistry.

TL;DR: This review describes the members of the matrixin family and discusses substrate specificity, domain structure and function, the activation of proMMPs, the regulation of matrixin activity by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, and their pathophysiological implication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of matrix metalloproteinases and TIMPs

TL;DR: The members of the MMP family are introduced and their domain structure and function, proenyme activation, the mechanism of inhibition by TIMPs and their significance in physiology and pathology are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Collagenase unwinds triple-helical collagen prior to peptide bond hydrolysis

TL;DR: It is reported that collagenases bind and locally unwind the triple‐helical structure before hydrolyzing the peptide bonds and shows that MMP‐1 preferentially interacts with the α2(I) chain of type I collagen and cleaves the three α chains in succession.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural insights into triple-helical collagen cleavage by matrix metalloproteinase 1.

TL;DR: Temperature-dependent binding of a catalytically inactive MMP-1 mutant (E200A) to collagen through the cooperative action of its catalytic and hemopexin domains is reported, which may lead to the first transition state of collagenolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray structure of human proMMP-1: new insights into procollagenase activation and collagen binding.

TL;DR: This work crystallized recombinant human proMMP-1 and determined its structure to 2.2 Å resolution, providing the first evidence of mobility of the Hpx domain in relation to the catalytic domain, providing an important clue toward the understanding of the collagenase-collagen interaction and subsequent collagenolysis.
